[font=trebuchet ms]Rin heard the approach of another creature- there was no attempt at stealth in those heavy pawsteps, or if there was, it was a laughable attempt. Turning her head slightly to glance at the silhouette that she recognized as Videogames, she swiveled her ears to catch his words- the half-smile fading slightly, but not completely gone from her face. Though the ethereal atmosphere had been disrupted, she didn't mind the company. It would just be a different experience, going from trance-like meditation to social connection.
"Don't think it happens very often," she answered, her eyes flickering back down to the glowing lights. "At least, I've never seen it before- and I figure someone would have mentioned it by now if they'd seen it." Watching the light rise and fall with the rippling movement of the water, she went on, "Though it's possible that something changed in this area, to cause this- and if so it might be more common from now on." That made sense, she thought. Perhaps it was just a good season for migration of plankton, or perhaps the root cause was stranger.
With a small nod, she said, "Nature can be beautiful, yes." The dangerous side of nature went unmentioned, as both of them knew full well that the world was inclined towards entropy. It would do some good, for more creatures to acknowledge that nature was more than just chaos and death. Rin had plenty of names to blame for all the bloodshed, and the natural environment was not one of them.
Twitching her ears, she glanced back up at Videogames. She probably ought to continue the conversation, but she wasn't entirely sure what to say- unless she brought up... well, maybe she could. Just this once. "I saw a meteor shower a few months ago," she remarked, "while I was staying in the Typhoon for a bit. Seems the shoreline is a good view for all sorts of strange phenomena." She was aware, as she spoke, that he would probably ask why she'd been staying in the Typhoon- but at the same time, he already knew about the gods. There was no need to hide what had happened.
If he didn't ask, then oh, well. He'd probably have a better conversation topic in mind.
